Since directory of Philippine flora is still incomplete, a floristic inventory of the country’s remaining forest is imperative. The study was conducted to provide a checklist of existing monocot flora in Mt. Pangasugan.A total of 76 species belonging to 14 families and 51 genera were recorded. Family Araceae had the most number of genera while Family Palmae had the most number of species.
